I wrote about the hostage released by Hamas last week that you haven't heard about—Muslim Bedouin Israeli Hisham al-Sayed, whom the group imprisoned for nearly a decade—and why you haven't heard about it: www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need

A bus bombing has just occurred in central Israel in a suspected terrorist attack. To enact a terrorist attack on the same day they return the coffins of our murdered; it's so despicable I don't know how it wasn't obvious Hamas would do this.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Not good news, but needs to be said: Hamas claimed that Israel killed the Bibas children and their mother in an airstrike. Forensic examination of the corpses reveals the kids were murdered and that Hamas didn't even send back the mother, but a random body. Depravity piled upon lies.

Thousands gathered tonight at Hostage Square in Tel Aviv to take a moment of silence for the four fallen hostages and pay their respects. I wish I was there to grieve with my country. I am with them all in spirit.

In Washington last year, a traffic crash killed or seriously injured someone every 2.7 hours, but I've never seen a TV news station claim that even a single horrific crash "highlights the dangers" of roadway travel.

After being gone from the Washington Post today, the DOJ meltdown is back - essentially because one guy wrote a powerful letter of dissent. Democrats, you also have access to the entire English language as your arsenal. Use it!

The SDNY Eric Adams scandal is so blatantly and unquestionably corrupt that there isn’t even the slightest veneer of legitimacy. They’re not even trying to display a veneer of legitimacy.

This is insane. Eric Adams is on Fox and Friends as Homan’s pet dog, and Holman is openly discussing “the agreement we came to,” and NO DEM ANYWHERE IS SAYING ANYTHING

One of the attorneys who just resigned instead of taking Trump's corrupt order to dismiss charges against Eric Adams - a Bronze Star veteran - wrote a letter that should echo through history.

It’s crucial in this utterly lawless and corrupt administration that we recognize the people who acted with integrity and remember, forever, those who did not.

The Mayor of New York City has been compromised. The fear of a renewed federal prosecution after the 2025 election keeps him perpetually under the thumb of Donald Trump. The City of New York has been all but reduced to a subsidiary of the Trump Administration.

so i don’t know if susan collins knows this but she belongs to a body that has the constitutionally designated power to tell HHS to stop making these cuts because they do not have the authority to unilaterally refuse to spend congressional appropriations.

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

The Nazi obsession with driving out Jewish influence from their scientific research led the allies to gain experts in many fields that proved critical in WW2. Think radar, cryptography, material sciences (lighter strong planes, better tank armor, synthetic rubber, etc...) And especially in nukes.

"The Jews did 9/11." 1 million views. No community note. Many Jews died on 9/11. There was no specific forewarning to Jews or Israelis. Just a litany of cartoonish lies incentivized and paid for by Elon's MuskBucks, the online engine for making antisemitism into a business model.
